strikes that's all told to a political activist alibi alvey who's joining us now live from caracas good to see them as to all be now con claims that the drone strikes have killed large numbers of civilians and engrave tribal factions living in the area and he's called on people to shoot them out of the sky but despite this message is he saved to travel into such a dangerous place. i think he is saying it is basically do with the lord's grand jury go out of that region has welcomed him there it would be only an assistance that is being provided by the government which does not want to open this up who exposure because for the past five years the hiding the fact the songs have been attacking this region on the on the public front they actually deny it but on privately behind the doors of the u.s. government they actually accept the fact that these drones have done this is an attack on a sabbatical and unfortunately this. box has to be opened and of course the model
1:16 pm
on which is that region that in those blocks ultimately stands open to be to national media that this this. issue has been going on for the past five or six years against the people of iraq so now you support the party of imran khan so why are you not there now. basically i am actually a social media activist and my father is a general secretary of some very good sob and he gets to or he is the second or third in command so he gets to enjoy the at their leading and brush going out there while i get to sit back home and that is the family and speak to us here on our t.v. now concept the aerial strikes were against all humanitarian laws and just help militants to recruit more people so why does the end of the pakistani government do more to stop them i wish they would i mean on the public front there are actually it's tried to denounce but it's just a simple attack most of the energy and unfortunately for the past five years our
1:17 pm
government has actually bought into the american war on terror and the board has acted which started off to be that the american war has now become our war and should be should catch on hold of these terrorists that are doing it but unfortunately not even they're not able to handle the economic affairs of the country let alone disturb the mission that has been be falling our country tired. now let's talk about the human u.n. human rights group who have repeatedly urged an investigation into such killings after after all we never see any videos or photos or data of the strikes what's really was got to got to hide. basically it's just. attack on a civilian getting the day they're doing a by the report that has been published by the stanford you know see just this last month i actually see only two percent of the terrorists are killed and ninety eight percent of of civilians innocent civilians are killed in these attacks so i think
1:18 pm
they've got a lot to hide because in accuracy of drone attacks drone bombers are totally destroying the peace in the region and actually making more enemies and more creating more american some within pakistan as before right to leave it right there that our balvenie who is a political activist from pakistan are joining us from karachi thank you for speaking to r.t. but the u.s. defense chief leon panetta has called on the afghan president to thank american troops rather than criticize them who is responding to him because lies complaints of the third say that washington is failing to go after militants have based in neighboring pakistan that's all on the eve of the eleventh anniversary since nato forces invaded the country antiwar activists and journalists don de bar b. feels the alliance is simply not welcome in the country. the united states has a blind spot to the fact that people tend to have an
1:19 pm
affinity for their national sovereignty that doesn't disappear just because their country is occupied by the united states and you have this manifest in afghanistan to the point where it's now obvious that if you hand an afghan he comprador soldier a weapon and show them how to use it they turn it on the american soldier that handed it to them the people of afghanistan want the united states out and it's a natural you know thing for that to occur and the united states just doesn't see that one of the goals of the u.s. imperial project is to where they can't completely dominate a place leave the people at each other's throats while they carry off the resources and so there's agitation for that that's put into play as the united states enters these countries what will happen in two thousand and fourteen is the afghanis will have an opportunity to settle their own national issues themselves without an occupying army directing the effort. it turns out walking your dog or feeding the

forest of the more skewed region for them profit goes well beyond the future of our planet and the result could be an ecological crisis the world wildlife fund for nature makes regular trips to help local rangers do what little they can to stop the logging but it's not easy lager set up trucks making them hard to reach in an already rough terrain and have mastered ways to jump through legal loopholes this is a nature reserve we're only sanitary logging of disease trees is allowed according to law and not a single berry can be picked but loggers like this use their sanitary logging permit to cut down absolutely healthy trees and sell the profitable to member over the border in china we are on the hunt for illegal loggers and it's not going to be easy to forests or in our chances are slim now for now we can stay in our dreams but as soon as we find solid tracks we'll have to drop our wheels and get out silently in order not to scare the loggers off alexander someone in ca has been
1:25 pm
a ranger for over twenty five years he can spend weeks at a time tracking a single group of loggers easier to work when snow falls in autumn it's impossible to find human tracks and even transport tracks are hard to see after hours of driving we get sent in the right direction by word of mouth you can see that the ground is soft here which means that the twelve the tractor trails are very fresh which in fact means that we need to be quite. in order to not scare them off as we get closer. this team says they're illegal but have no documents now xander can now call the police to take over his work here is done he is overwhelmingly outnumbered there are too few rangers working in the promote the region and the w w f says the government isn't doing enough to stop it i guess the government now for more of. the bells and so on and you forest
1:26 pm
and according to. the guys in the in the forest through the still the forest still doesn't work just. as no one tries to stop them in just five years the force will be gone they'll sell it all to china what will the people who live afterwards do. it's a question more and more people are aware of today climate change in the safety of our environment as a whole are being discussed around the world and perhaps it's those small steps that might be a start to people living in harmony with nature. good afternoon welcome to capital account i'm lauren lyster here in washington d.c. these are your headlines for friday october fifth two thousand and twelve the european central bank sees buying a large amount of solver and bonds through its unlimited bond buying program or o.n.t. for one or two months from now called on to reassess that's according to reuters
1:27 pm
and of course we know q e three has put monetary easing in the realm of unlimited the attempts to reflate have really reached another level. oh my god speed is too slow too slow we're going to have to go right through he said crisply. ludicrous so. will discuss ludicrous speed with the very same chris martin said meanwhile consumer credit rose more than forecast in. august according to the fed the eighteen point one two billion dollar rise was driven by borrowing for education and automobiles it's up the most in three months so is this a sign the bubble is being replated or are we past the deflationary point of no return we'll talk about it and the unemployment rate dips to seven point eight percent as the job gains used to calculate it clocked at eight hundred seventy three thousand or the most in almost a decade wow that's amazing driven by what well those who are part time for
